I've been so busy painting (and moving house for the winter), not to mention welcoming my new daughter, Jane, into the world, that this place has slipped - regardless, this is the most recent offering. Mainly portraits in different styles - hope you enjoy

found out in February that we were due to have another daughter (due today). Since January, we finished our house renovation, sold it in the summer, and am currently renting until we find a new venue! The Kneivel painting will be continued asap, along with some new material and ideas - please stay tuned!

I wanted the packaging to be that real cheap Chinese stuff, with no reference to Evel at all. It just seemed fitting somehow, as it wasn't too patronising - plus, the real aficiandos out there will recognise the bike. I had "Jump Cycle" as the original package title, but soon realised it needed the word "Super" preceding in small text.

So far, just the background is blocked in, the canvas being 5' x 4', and in acylic.........

When I'm not painting...

About Me

I became an artist because I wanted to ride motorcycles.
At the age of 14, and years before legally being able to take to the road, I sold artwork to raise money for my first bike, a Yamaha DT80. A year later, I received a sponsorship to race motocross. But life had other plans. My parents did not want me to race, so they did the only thing they could think of to stop me...they sent me to boarding school.
I finished school and went on to become a professional artist. But I confess, I drop my paintbrush and ride every chance I get.
